"On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit."
Heres the wikipedia article on this piece of cinema:

Enjoy
EDIT: FOUND THIS ON IMDB.COM
Lelouch drives the car.
They were 3 in the car.
The car was a Mercedes.
They could change the diaphragm of the camera from the car.
It was Lelouch's own car.
They chose a Mercedes because of the suspension . The image was better.
He went up to 200km/h.
The trafic is real.
It was made in one take. One time.
They decided to make the movie during the night, just before making it.
Only at 'Les guichets du Louvres' there was a guy with a walky-talkie to tell if there was a danger. He wanted to call but it didn't work.
He made the run again with a Ferrari, for the sound.
Near the end, when he makes a turn to the right, and sudently decide to carry-on straight, it's because there was a truck blocking the street. Because of that, he was affraid of lacking film because the way he then chose was longer, and he had to go in a own-way the wrong way.
She was his wife.
